Abstract

The  paper  proves  the  need  of  agrarian  teachers  training  to  form  students
cross-cultural  competence.  The  need  has  several  reasons:  first,  activation  of  the
educational  process  in  the  agricultural  universities  in  order  to  develop  cross cultural  competence  requires  improvement  of  teachers  pedagogical  skills,
development  of  their  intercultural  communication  skills;  secondly,  as  higher
school  teachers  are  free  to  choose  education  technologies,  training    forms,
methods  and  means  of  students  learning,  they    should  be  given  the  relevant
methodological  knowledge  for  training    students  with  a  high  level  of  crosscultural competence .
The  article  describes  the  forms  and  methods  of  improving  the  higher
agricultural institutions    teachers  professional competence that are necessary for
the formation of future  agrarian  economists cross-cultural competence.  The main
means of teachers professional level development are: s cientific seminars , English
courses (preparation for participation in international projects ), methodological
activities  in  creative  teams,  trainings,  participation  in  international  projects,
studying  the  best  educational  experience  connected  with  the  formation  of  crosscultural competence, scientific and methodological activities in collaboration with
foreign  colleagues  (participation  in  international  conferences,  "  round  tables  "
etc); selfeducation.
